Been trying to find an old game for some time now.

I think it's from the late 90's era, from what i can remember you played as one (Possibly several) indian(s), native american. It was top down, like a strategy game. I Think you started out in a village or fort of some sorts and then snuck around in the woods doing missions etc.

If i remember correctly you could be alligned to both the brits and the french.

It's been some 15 years since i played so my memory of it might be a bit off.
 

I'm not the guy.

Hey guys, I'm not so sure if everything I can say is correct but I'll try my best to give as much detail as possible here.

I remember playing a 2D game, and you'd be able to walk left or right, and I remember somewhere in the game, possibly the beginning, if you headed off straight to the left you would hit a beach area, and you could go into the water, but you would die, that is until you found a specific item, for some reason "The fantastic adventures of Dizzy" reminds me alot of the game, but I don't think it is THE game I've been trying to remember.

I know in one specific part of the game you have to use TNT to blow up a wall blocking your path, then an Indian Jones thing *You grab something and a boulder falls down and tries to crush you* happens, I'm pretty sure the character was a simple design, nothing about the game was extremely detailed, I cannot remember the plot either.

I'm sure I played it around 1996 - 1999.

If anyone knows the game I'm thinking of that would be great, I'm going to watch a walkthrough of "The fantastic adventures of Dizzy" just incase it is the game I am thinking of.

Thank you! :)

Hello
Mine is an old ps1 game which I played on ps2. This game was always in birds eye view and there was two players in the game, either you and a friend or you and the computer. You both had a base and in these bases were spawn points for either tanks, helicopters and other things which I forget. You had to have a certain amount of score to spawn such vehicles. I may recall robots being in the game as well but I'm not too sure about that. The aim of the game was to destroy the other players base. The maps were sort is maze like. However I cannot remember the name of it so has anybody got any ideas?
Thank you

One last game (at the moment) i remember playing on the pc; mid-late 90s (i only played the demo? it came with one of those *Pc-Mag's*), it wasn't exactly cell-shaded... it looked drawn; but a *good* drawn... and not cartoony:

What i remember is, its set in the near-far future (post apocalyptic)? you have 3 (or 4)? characters... maybe only 2? it was isometric view (but more side on than top-down iso)... i think it was turn based and the characters seemed to *jump* to the clicked destination (there was no movement animation); now for the characters... i seem to remember one being femail (cant remember her ability/skill), and 2 others were male (i think) ahhh... so there were 3... lol... any way the other 2 i am *sure* one was a stealth class (could hide in the shadows *or* go invisible, had a dagger/sword/knife? and maybe a *scilenced* weapon of some kind?) i think he wore darkish clothes?... the other man? was a *commando* type character, bigger weapons/strength etc (i cant remember any skill/level system involved but there could possibley have been)?

the only other thing i remember about this game is that the stage i was on (or remember playing the most) was sort of like a dessert (Spelling?) type land, or it was arid (the floor was quite sandy/light brown/beige colour) and the trees i *think* were bear of leaves?, there were a few broken building which you could inspect and stuff..

I dont remember getting any loot off downed enemies, but that might have happened... you could only control one character at once? (or you could combine their *turns/moves*?) i cant remember which... i don't *think* the game had a *grid* layout (or you could turn it on/off)?

(i dont know how to add attachments so i hope you have enough imagination to see this): i think i remember a point (near to the start?) where my *heroes* were inside a kind of enclosier (sorry spelling), there were a couple of greyish/blueish barrels near the bottom of it, a few were overturned? there was some kind of *off-white* (and possibley broken/decaying) wall that went along the bottom,and up the right hand side (and also the left?) of the broken building (which was same colour as the wall)? this did not take up the whole screen, there was more scenery *infront* of the wall and to the sides as well? the only? enterence into the *complex*? was on the left hand side? (or you had to *climb* a tree?

I *think* different kind of moves/abilities would take more *action points* than others... like shooting or doing an action skill would cost more points than generally moving?

and i remember i *think* when you were out of move points, the character you were at the time would say something like *... but its not me*? or something similar (this was either white text on the screen *or* it was spoken as well??? i remember the text bit i am sure... i think lol)

that is all i can remember, a lot of information i know... wich is why it seems very strange to me that google shows me nothing at all... i just hope someone here remembers the game or demo disk it was on...

I will accept anything: *this was only ever a demo and they never compleated it* or *it wasn't very successful* etc, but i would love to know where i can buy it/emulate it/download it even to the extent of *just* watching one of those *Let's Play* kind of videos... one last thing, it was uk magazine like *Pc Gamer* or something

EDIT: i remember the graphics (although kind of drawn) had at least a *semblance* of being 3D

thank you

sorry, i lied (sorry for the spam as well, if you need to report one of my posts for spaming, please report this one):

This is for my cousin:
Its a text based rpg, definately for the pc (we can't remember what year but we definately remember playing early 90s)
you were either a school/college student, mabey teenager age... We *think* it had the picture of a grim-reaper face and hood on the box?

we never completed it, we think the text was white (we can't remember seeing any pictures/graphics at all) we are sure it could have been on CD? (but most likley floppy)

and the reason for remember a school/college kid is because thats where it takes place, in a school or college, we think

Thank you

It's an old fantasy computer game from 90's or 2000's.
3D world with bird's eye POV, cartoonish graphics.
Main character is a boy (pretty sure he uses magic to fight). The name Billy comes to mind for some reason.
Last boss is a giant knight in a lava room.
I remember one level had a riddle talking about making a number on light up tiles. The answer was roman numerals.
And I remember that when you beat a level, you got to choose between a cash prize, or a spell.

I've been thinking about this game and it has been bugging me forever. I don't remember much, but it is a game on the PC in first person and I think its a kids adventure game where you take a blimp to this island. You walk around and solve puzzles I believe. Every time I see "Myst" it reminds me of this game. I can't figure it out, can anyone help me?

I remember a flash sort of game (could be DOS).

It is a 2D game where you are a helicopter (Later airplane) and there are 2 army camps which spawns units and they are fighting against each other( sending units) in the center there are multiple bases (neutral at start) and then when the units move by they switch to the allegiance of the nearby units.

There are civilians on the map which you can pick up with your helicopter and bring back to your base to gain more money.
Objective of the game was to destroy the enemy.

you started off as a helicopter and the units were being spawned randomly later on you could choose what units to spawn and there were multiple helicopters fighting in the later levels.
there were also special powers (like airdrop units).

It was in the desert, when you are the airplane you need to either land on a airstrip or a aircraft carrier.

could someone please help me!!

I really really really need to play this game again it is haunting my mind, at night this game is all I can think about xD. sounds desperate but it's sadly true.
